"...Elder Brother, are you scared?"

"Scared?"

Aker slowed down with Loulou.

"The family background that Elder Brother said..." Loulou's words revealed her worries, "The human heroes of the 'cross-border war' period have now been erased from history and lived in seclusion in the border villages. What are the reasons behind it... And, Elder Sister Lynn's family has..."

"But the problem is that we don't know anything. Dad didn't intend to tell us the truth from the beginning, otherwise, we wouldn't have been kept in the dark."

"Although this is the case..."

This was a problem that they should ask their parents.

But their parents would not tell them. Then Loulou suddenly said,

"Mum and Dad should be very powerful, right?"

"Maybe, it's just that we haven't seen their power."

Aker could never imagine that his father would take up a weapon. In his mind, he was still just the village chief carrying farm tools on his shoulders.

Loulou stopped, and Aker who was pulled by her naturally stopped with her.

"If, I mean if... we are not real siblings, can we have children of our own?" Loulou was looking down at her feet instead of looking at Aker's eyes, "and then they too will be very strong, so strong that we no longer need to worry about the difficulties we are facing now?"

"Eh?"

The surrounding sound instantly became smaller, because Aker's brain no longer accepted the noise from the outside world.

Loulou's hypothesis required all Aker's brain cells to understand.

Her cheeks had become redder than the afterglow of the setting sun.

Aker did not move, did not speak, and the silence made the time between each other almost stop.

Loulou finally couldn't control the tears anymore. Something in her chest made her breathless, but she didn't dare to raise her head, she didn't dare to see Aker's expression at the moment. So she could only hide in Aker's arms, burying her face in his chest, and let out the emotions buried in her heart with a willful muffled voice.

Aker couldn't say anything, he had never thought about what Loulou had in mind. This hypothesis would not come true, and Aker never imagined that there would be another possible relationship between them.

Now Aker's thinking was almost paralyzed, and Loulou could also only rely on him at this time. She was crying, and the trembling of her petite body in his arms pulled at his heartstrings for a moment.

But Aker couldn't even raise his arms to hug Loulou's petite body.

His head was very heavy, his arms were also very heavy, and he didn't need any strength at all.

Aker kept scolding himself in his heart and told himself that he must do something for her! Loulou was his irreplaceable sister, how could he let her shed sad tears in front of him!

He tried hard to move his paralyzed body, and finally, a familiar touch came from his fingertips. The most important person of his life was here in front of him at this time.

Loulou's body trembled slightly when she was touched by Aker's fingertips, but then she put her whole body in his arms with peace of mind.

--Give up……

——In the end, the lost things still need to be retrieved by yourself. What should be grasped now should be the things that have not been lost...

The effect of psychological cues was very significant, and Aker gradually let go of his confusion.

He put more strength on his arm, regardless of whether it would cause Loulou pain, he just didn't want to let Loulou go.

Such a scene should be a strange scene in the neighborhood. But the siblings didn't care about the eyes of others, and hugged each other tightly.

Time went by naturally, this was an extremely happy time.

For Loulou, this would be an unforgettable moment in her life.

.....

Untimely applause sounded without warning.

Aker opened his eyes suddenly. Not far from the two of them stood a man in white. His delicate white dress and his youthful face were like a gentle noble.

"What a touching scene. Only good feelings will exude the same sweet taste from both inside and outside."

Aker and Loulou only noticed at this time that there was no one on the street.

The dishes on the open-air restaurant table were still steaming, but the guests who should have been sitting there seemed to have evaporated.

Apart from Aker, Loulou, and the man in white, there was no fourth person in this area.

Lynn went back and forth a few times in the hall of the mansion.

Although taking a walk after the meal was really good for her body, at this time Lynn was no in the mood for it,

"What's the matter with those two people? It is already this time, but where are they?!"

The source of anger was Aker and Loulou who had not yet returned.

Of course, Venus was also worried about the two people who hadn't returned yet. But under Leah's strong request, she was pulled into the bathroom without making any resistance, and then she no longer had the energy to worry about the two.

And Shun cleaned up Leah's dinner utensils in the cooking room as usual.

"What are those two people doing outside so late..."

Even the golden particles of the Light Flame Sword also seemed restless. If Aker came in from the main entrance of the mansion at this time, she would definitely be shot and killed by her mercilessly.

"Shun!"

"What is it? You can say it directly."

Lynn's voice passed through the dining room and into Shun's ears, Shun also responded to her through the dining room. Probably he was still washing the dishes, so he didn't walk out of the kitchen.

"Can you drive the car out?"

"Are you going to find Aker and Loulou?"

"I can't drive, so I can only trouble you."

"In fact, you don't have to worry about them. Even if they come back a little bit later, nothing will happen. It's pretty safe in the Eastern District of the Imperial Capital." But when Shun said this, he could also see Lynn's persistence. It seemed that she had already made up her mind, "If that's what you want, please wait for me to finish washing those dishes."

"Wait, I'll go with you."

Leah's voice came from the bathroom.

After a while, she and Venus came out of the bathroom.

"At this time, they will definitely hold hands and go shopping in the center street sweetly!" Leah threw out her flat chest and said, "I want to disturb them all of a sudden."

"It's rare that Elder Brother Aker and Loulou can have some time together alone, don't disturb them..."

Venus's dissuasion disappeared into the air like a breeze.

Ten minutes later, the car carrying everyone drove down the mountain road.

"Something is wrong..." Leah, who was sitting in the passenger seat, frowned this time, "It seems that something is following us..."

"This is already the highest speed, right? If there is anything that can keep up with the speed of this car, then it can only be ghosts."

Lynn complained disapprovingly. At Leah's request, Shun had already increased the speed to the extreme. Thanks to Shun's great driving skills, the car did not overturn on the narrow and rugged mountain roads.

Leah seemed to have a condition that she would have motion sickness as long as she sat in the back seat, and now she had no problem because she was sitting in the front passenger seat.

But this time, when it changed to Venus. Her face turned very pale. Leah explained that this was because of the long bath time and then the road was too bumpy.

"But...  Leah is right. There is magic energy following us..."

"As I expected, it really isn't my illusion."

Venus could actually still detect the energy in this situation, and she truly deserved to be called the strongest Domain Mage of the church.

"Then we don't need to continue to hide, everyone, sit tight!"

With a spin of the steering wheel, the car turned into a forest path, ran over countless bushes, and rushed forward. Fortunately, this was a custom-made car that was bought at a high price, otherwise it would have broken down halfway.

Now Venus' eyes began to spin in circles. Lynn quickly stroked her back gently, hoping that she would not throw up.

"Stop, stop!"

Leah suddenly grabbed Shun's steering wheel and slammed on the brakes. The car swayed out of the forest path and finally stopped safely on the side of the road.

Immediately afterward, a crimson light passed by, and the road they were preparing to move forward to was covered by magma.

"This is……"

Lynn noticed it first, and this was the recurrence of the Magic Train explosion.

It was just that this time the scale was far less than that at the time. If Leah hadn't braked in time just now, they would have undoubtedly been turned into that pool of magma.

They immediately gave up the broken down car. The next moment they left the car, the car that was parked on the spot was also hit by the red arrow, which caused a violent explosion.

"Damn it," Leah immediately raised her hand and shot out a sharp cone of ice into the depths of the forest where the attack came from. "It seems that the other party doesn't want to let us go."

As soon as the ice cone got near the forest, it was blocked by a crimson light. The light hovered up and down in the air, and revealed its true face.

"Chain?"

"No. That is not an ordinary chain, it should be magic gear!"

Unlike Shun, who is not the holder of the magic gear, Lynn immediately noticed the special magic energy fluctuation emitted from the chain around its body.

There seemed to be some kind of magic energy resonance between magic gear and magic gear, so there was no way to hide the identity between magic gear holders.

Lynn once felt this way when Aker was using Pupils of Blazing Flames. But at that time, she didn't know that Aker's dual guns were magic gear, so she didn't take this phenomenon to heart.

"Too bad that it failed..." An unenergetic naive voice  came from the jungle as if only muttering to himself, "Then I will try again..."

As if obeying the master's call, the crimson chain like a giant steel snake raised its body.

The owner of that childish voice did not show up but used her magic gear to create enough pressure on the four people.

Leah gripped the spear constructed from natural elements of ice, while Shun raised the ice-condensed two-handed sword.

"Let's hold her back, you two immediately take a shortcut to a safe place and notify the Imperial Defense Bureau, can you do it?"

Leah lowered her voice and urged Lynn and Venus. She and Shun were teacher and apprentice, so the cooperation between the two was better than that of Lynn and Venus. Moreover, the strength of the opponent was unknown, it was very likely that they were related to the Nemesis association, so reinforcements from the Imperial Defense Bureau were necessary.

"But……"

"There is no but!"

"Ah..."

Leah was angry at Venus for the first time, but she really couldn't give up her position.

"Go now, and bring Aker and Loulou back. Just don't waste time here!"

At this time, several scarlet arrows shot out from the depths of the jungle, and Leah easily constructed a heavy ice shield. The fiery arrow collided with the ice shield and caused a heavy mist of water.

"I will make you come out of that pile of the bush!"

"What are you going to do?"

Lynn rarely asked Venus for advice. She trusted Venus' judgment, and if Venus said she wanted to stay, then she would ignore Leah's tough request.

"Let’s go first, and leave it to Leah and Elder Brother Shun..." Venus did not give her the answer she had expected. "Although I am worried, I also believe Leah... Friends must trust each other, right?"

Facing Venus's unpretentious smiling face, Lynn could only nod.

"I trust you."

Temporarily hiding the unnecessary worry in her heart, Lynn quickly left the scene with Venus.

…………

Aker reorganized the words of the man in white in his mind.

"I have understood everything you said, if what you just said is true."

"There is no need for us to deceive you, because you will find out the truths I told you from other places." The corner of the white-clothed man's mouth curled up, "the Nemesis association will create a new world. Only we can realize the wishes of the 'Chise' and the 'Heinz' families. In a world like this, you cannot get the so-called ‘happiness’. "

"So," the man in white stretched out his hand to Aker, "become our partner."

"I decline."

Aker also smiled and declined the sincere invitation of the man in white without hesitation.

"Elder Brother..."

"Fortunately, it is up to us to decide whether we are happy or not. Even if we and Lynn's family are just victims, we must take back everything that was originally ours, but we will never use your approach. I will never admit your practice of using other people as victims! "

Aker's answer made Loulou relieved. She originally thought that he might be instigated by the man in white, because even she was shaken after hearing the truth.

She would support Elder Brother's wishes. She knew that he might go the wrong way, she still would not be able to stop him. But this problem was dispelled by Aker.

"Sure enough, as the big sister said, there will be no effect now..." The white-clothed man pressed the brim of the top hat, his expression was not too surprised, "But if I just go back, you should not accept it, right?"

"Because you still owe me an explanation?" Aker summoned the silver-white double guns. "Your greeting almost cost us our lives. Will I simply let you go?"

Although Aker was not prepared to let the white-clothed man escape like this, he was not prepared to face him head-on.

A special magic energy fluctuation was emitted from his body, and that fluctuation proved that the opponent was also a magic gear holder, and the strength was even higher than that of himself. Now that Loulou was still by his side, Aker must buy time until they got the attention of the Imperial Defense Bureau while protecting her.

After all, the Imperial Defense Bureau was not far from here. Although they seemed to be in a certain kind of domain, as long as they started a battle here, it would leak magic energy to the outside world in the "domain" of Venus.
